The Marshmallow Challenge

Connecting to the Standards:We learned to communicate efficiently at a quick pace in order to accomplish a task on time. The task in this project was to create a free-standing tower out of twenty spaghetti noodles, one yard of tape, and one yard of string that was able to hold a marshmallow. We had eighteen minutes to complete this task. Being able to use technology is not the key importance anymore, it is more so how to use it and exploring the different applications technology has created. This lesson not only taught us that yes we can video record, but also learned how to improve ourselves for next time. We had to explore the movie maker options in order to understand what they did. It wasn't just automatic knowledge, instead we had to learn, adapt and explore the possibilities. We had no idea how to edit a movie, but from exploring all the different tools given were able to adapt and put together what we believe to be a good and short movie.
